58 <br /> Report of the Tree Warden <br /> Honorable Board of Selectmen <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> This is my report for the year ending ending December <br /> j 31, 1969. <br /> Work was done primarily in the fight against the <br /> g gypsy <br /> moth infestation, which is rapidly overspreading the Cape, <br /> I, <br /> according to a recent aerial survey conducted by the Dept. <br /> of Natural Resources. We have approximately 1,000 acres of <br /> woodland somehow affected by gypsy moth; and about <br /> II 24,000 acres in the mid Cape area. <br /> We are hoping for some state funding, but we are not <br /> overly optimistic. <br /> l <br /> I also did some work in eradication of the eastern tent <br /> caterpillar, which wasn't too prevalent last year. <br /> In the area of elm tree work, I had to remove two dis- <br /> eased elms last year, and have two more suspects awaiting <br /> determination from the laboratory of University of Mass. <br /> Ilj <br /> I requested a small increase in my budget for this sea- <br /> i <br /> son, hoping to cover all or most of my expenses. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> ERMEND HENDRICKS, <br /> Tree Warden and Moth Supt. <br /> jl ' <br /> ! <br /> ! <br /> I <br /> i <br />
